i'm not usually a fan of PWPs since i tend to go for the plotty stuff but this was glorious and so well-voiced for two teenagers and best friends fumbling around and trying to figure out what they mean to each other underneath all the silly jokes and the touches and the sex. kudos to you for making it poignant and tasteful when it could have been done poorly. there was this comfortable ease through it all and the warm, lazy summery feeling of being with someone you are one hundred percent comfortable with, someone you trust and adore more than anything, came out through and through.

I must give praise to this. As a one shot you don't expect much asides from the generic, unrealistic, and terribly boring sex scenes typically written by hormonal, unknowledgeable minors. However since this was written by the same brilliant author that wrote Eir's Tomorrow I had to give it a chance. Of course it was much better than any other pwp one shot I've read so far in the entire KH fandom, and since my tween years I've read a LOT (not sure if thats something to be proud of but I can say I'm not pulling this out of my ass!). It was much more than just meaningless, and thinly veiled smex hiding under the pretense of some Harlequin paper back circumstance, it actually had a feeling of real sincerity and even snippets of insight into the motives and lives of these characters during and post game-the whole point of Sora being through enough to disillusion any kid yet still having the optimism/courage (note I didn't say naivety) to retain his pure ideals really is something I can say only Sora would do. And of course that leads me to my other point-Characterization! It was done wonderfully, and for once(thank Shiva, Buddah, Allah whoever!) Sora isn't described as some effeminate, pansy boy. I mean seriously, 3/4ths of the slash here depicts him as an oblivious, spineless fairy; by Jobe makes me wonder what Kingdom Hearts they were playing. And Riku of course is Angsty and Arrogant but you didn't exaggerate it or take this whole thing too seriously. It was very light hearted which is refreshing from the sappy drama that curtails this fandom. In fact I found myself snickering lightly to myself every now and again at the well written dialogue (like the observation that Riku had lived on the island all his life but never managed a tan). The sex itself was fun in that it was clumsy and Riku wasn't some virgin sex god and Sora didn't scream out in utter ecstasy or cry or something weak like that. The whole "I'm not gonna break" conversation at the end was a nice touch.

Sooo, with that long unnecessary rant I hope to leave you with the knowledge that this was great and I look forward to more KH from you (I'm a bit sad that my beloved fandom seems to be petering out of existence) as well as anything FF and hell I'll probably dig into something new if you write it. Best of luck, and thanks so much for all the great work!

Oooh. I'm very impressed. You turned what is essentially a PWP into something way cooler. They were so real and believable and in character. I love how Sora was the initiator and Riku was emotionally insecure. Like they actually are, you know? It's hard to find an author who likes the characters the way they are and doesn't turn one of them into a girl, therefore destroying their personality. Haha, anyway. I loved this and would so read it again. Great job!
